Creative Business Cards You Won't Forget

Every decent marketer or entrepreneur knows just how unprofitable it is to be easily forgotten. The problem is that few know how to be remembered. Do you?

But it’s about more than just being remembered, you’ve got to be remembered for the right thing – and that’s where good communication comes in – but that’s still not enough. You’ve got to be so memorable that the right people not only fail to forget you, but they talk about you (good words) everywhere they go – even before they’ve done business with you.

One way to do that is with outstanding business cards – like these guys below. Tell me what you think of em and which ones you think are most effective for marketing…

"It's obvious, we take photos. No way you can look at this card later and forget what we do"

It’s easy to memorable.

This happens equally with business cards.Everyone has been doing it the same way for so long that few are even aware that they have options, are you?

Another great example of how just changing the material you use can make all the difference. In this case, wood.

Just follow this simple 1-2-3 process

1) Identify your message or the thing you want people to remember when they’re looking at your business card.

3) Just do it. Don’t worry that it’s not the usual size or shape. Don’t even call it a business card if that makes you feel better, call it a ‘hand out info card’ or something.

If you need them to remember you, a picture helps!

Easy right?

Lacking from all the examples above and what I’ve said is that whatever you choose to communicate, better be right. “What we do” isn’t always the most important thing to mention or be remembered for… but that’s another post.

What better way to communicate your point and differentiate yourself at the same time. Super affordable concept too.
